I know I shouldn’t get annoyed, but man, this website. People memorize a few buzzwords and think they’re experts

hell of a thing to say about a personal essay that is quite literally about the horrors of “theocratic” ideas and policies

Thank You, Melvyn Bragg | Defector Melvyn Bragg, host of the BBC Radio 4 programme In Our Time since its very first episode back in 1998, has greeted me in the same delightfully brusque manner hundreds and hundreds of times. Hello. In ...

Last graf made me cry. It’s all I want for my daughters

Diana Wynn Jones! Robin McKinley! I could go on

jesus man, tell me you have no idea who Claremont is or JD Vance's record as a postliberal

“A childhood like mine is a personal tragedy with political dimensions.”

"I hated him the way you can hate only a man who destroyed you as a child."

“Dobson served tyranny all his life, and over time, he sought to enshrine it in the highest seats of power. To him and his heirs, the American home is a laboratory; they inflict suffering in private to better reproduce it in public.”

it’s been such a bizarre week! I keep feeling like language has truly failed me

I always knew I’d write about Dobson when he finally died but he loomed so large in my life that I wasn’t sure what I was going to say until it was time to say it

love this

James Dobson Was My Horror, and Yours The Christian-right luminary built his long career on cruelty and submission.

I do not think you can get that mad if people think you're getting paid by a company when you're doing a promo for a product, saying that you're 'proud to partner' with the company, and it turns out you're just doing that for free?

Charlie Brown had hoes etc
